Summary:

"Open Air. The New Pleinairisme brings together a selection of recent works produced en plein air by sixteen artists from ten countries in the Americas and Europe. Taking the experience of the landscape and nature as a source of inspiration, these artists reinvent artmaking out of doors in their attention to the intensity of the present moment, the passage of time, and the changes in light, weather, and the environment. The drawings, watercolours, collages, texts, paintings, sculptures, videos, and photographs attest to a wide range of approaches and strategies that revisit pleinairisme by exploring nature, which, in the view of many, is disappearing. Complementing the exhibition is a selection of paintings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that reveal the connections between the pleinairismes of yesterday and today."-- p. 4 of cover.
